This is why I believe is Kinect and the PS4 Eye. Small non-intrusive features like this to complement games are great. People continue to act like you must wanna play full on motion games to be excited for these camera devices. Another great feature Bioware talked about before is face mapping and voice mapping for games. Imagine saying key words and sentences to register your voice and mapping your face in Mass Effect 4! Its quite amazing.

Do they mean your characters head will turn when yours does? Or it will just match facial expressions? Or Both?

I think they mean your character's head will turn. Matching facial expression in a first-person game doesn't make much sense. For one, you're never going to see your character's face, and two, in a fast-pace game like BF4, you'd hardly have time to see and appreciate other character's faces.

I think they're going to start small and just do head turns. If it will be like TrackIR, you don't need to turn your head a whole lot in order to get full head movement from the game.

They'll probably set it in such a way that only a certain level of head movement registers. It can't be too sensitive, because people's bodies and heads move while they play games regardless. A slight head turn that equates to you character looking about can create a very frustrating experience. And focus is key in FPSs. Take your eye away for half a second and you could be dead. So, I def think it won't be too sensitive, to prevent accidental head-turns in-game.
I think peeking and leaning will be great, peeking especially; will come in handy.

What's interesting to me is, they made no mention of the PS4's camera being used in BF4. I'm not saying they won't use it, but I'm saying, IF it's any indication that devs already are ignoring optional peripherals, it's this.

I think its more of an indication that EA has a vested interest in making the Xbox one successful since you know, Microsoft and EA have been all buddy buddy lately.

Or (puts tinfoil hat on).........it's worth investing the time to make something like that work because EA knows every Xbox One has a Kinect built-in. Whereas there is no telling how many PS4 camera's will be sold considering Sony isn't even talking about it two months before launch.
